Motor rebuild kits: 1410 and 1415 - RC-Monster Forums

No 1406 kits? Oh well the endbells on the front are all the same right? Guess I will just have a rotor for sale unless someone has a front endbell and bearing(3.2 mm) they would be willing to let go. My buddy has a rig dyin for this 4600 1406 four pole.

Can i also order a 1415 with 5mm Shaft on the Castle Website ?
Would save me buying the extra rotor

At this time we are not producing the 1415 with a 5mm shaft. There may be plans in the future to make one, but there is nothing in the works right now.

They are in the works, no kind of ETA yet though. We just got a new internal pricing list and there is a part number for it now; but no pricing and the notes just say coming soon. It will have the 3.2mm shaft, no plans on making a repair kit for the 1406's with a 5mm shaft.

Unfortunately the front endbells are not the same between the 1410/1415 and the 1406 motors. The 1406 has a shallower bearing recess on the inside of the endbell, so if you try to use the one from the 1410/1415 the deeper bearing recess causes it to press against the rotor and bind ups the rotor.

AFAIK, the bearings are the same on the 5MM and 3.2MM shaft models. The shaft is 5MM where it goes through the bearings.
